Aerospace

The aerospace industry combines innovation, precision, and uncompromising safety. FOERSTER contributes to these standards with advanced measuring and testing technology used in aircraft maintenance, navigation systems, and even space research – wherever maximum reliability and accuracy are essential.

From the early days of flight to modern space exploration, FOERSTER has been a trusted partner in aerospace technology. Our highly sensitive magnetometers and measuring systems support safety and precision in aviation and scientific missions alike. FOERSTER instruments were used in several space projects, including the precise alignment of the ROSAT X-ray satellite. This legacy dates back to company founder Prof. Friedrich Förster, whose pioneering magnetometer flew aboard NASA’s Mariner II mission to study Venus in 1962. In recognition of his achievements, Prof. Förster received NASA’s highest distinction in 1992 – a testament to FOERSTER’s lasting contribution to aerospace innovation.
